74 C10 Wiper Switch

Wiper switch is a 2 speed with a push for washer pulse. Seems no difference between position 1 and position 2 speed. Is this in switch or motor?


TIA

Re: 74 C10 Wiper Switch

I agree. Although there is also the possibility of a bad connection in the wiring.

On the 1977 & older wiper motors, the switch grounds both the "low" and "high" terminals for low speed operation. It only grounds the "high" terminal for high speed operation.

So a bad connection between the switch & motor in the "low" speed circuit will result in the motor running at high speed on both switch settings.

Re: 74 C10 Wiper Switch

Update....While working on temp gauge not working correctly in the last couple of weeks, wipers would not work, yet they did 2 days before. Checked connector on switch and found I knocked it off while checking temp gauge. Reconnected switch, now wipers work as they should. Have a 2 speed wiper and parks correctly. Strange how things work....or don't work.
Guess just a bad connection with switch connector.

Thanks to all the replies.
